Good news on the test drive Scott!

How will the shocks go controlling a heavy spring like that?

Cheers

Hi Cam well we have ribbed for when its wet and smooth for when its dry.
the ribbed are italian aka pirelli 235/18 and 315 /18 and the smoothes are english aka dunlop.285/18/640 and 290/18/690 should make for plenty of ground clearance with the 690s on the back.
and the 285 fronts will test our arms out.
I will be just happy to do some laps soon.
Did the wheel alignment tonite no wonder it was allover the road at ride height it had 25 mm toe in at full compression it must have been over 35 . hope to take for another test drive and give it some welly.

I'm SURE I heard you ask Scotty that same question, when you shared a room with him at the Nationals !!!!

No way Wazza, you're hearing things, you know Scott's bareback all the way

If not I'll send the DVD
